It was around 40 °C at the time (high South summer), so the ice must have melted…
That’s not ice? Boy, am I losing it…
My kid is still at the South Pole, so I’ve been regarding ice photos all year…
let’s say this is half way down the Equator…
Two versions with GIMP, one black and white, the other added a blue colour cast - so still monochrome!

- (classic) silver toning and a bit of further lightness+contrast processing:

To try to add to the serenity of the scene, I have made the image almost monochrome and cropped to a more panoramic aspect.
I like a lot the second one.
Maybe too different to the reality, but who cares (not me)
Glad you like it, but now I think that I should have reduced the saturation by about 30%!
My latest attempt to achieve what I had in mind is still not right.

I’m not good at B/W (though I love it). But this was such a nice shot that I couldn’t avoid to try it. Congrats!
BTW: time to clean your sensor!

Slightly improved (and simplified), at least to my taste. And with another crop.

I leave it as an exercise for the student at home to take care of the sensor dust.
Sloppy me … so sloppy (to say the least) that I managed to completely brick this camera a couple of months later while trying to connect a damn cheap macro extension tube
Thanks to all contributors!
Yet another attempt at this beautiful photograph. This time even more panoramic, only the slightest hint of colour and a bluish cast.
I did this mostly to show that you can use negative RGB channel settings in the gray output. I don’t know why the module on shows only positive settings. You have to enter a negative number to change the slide bar scale.
What a revolting development that was!!!
